Torque and Moment of Inertia Gizmos-VERIFIED BY EXPERTS 2021-GRADED A+

Document Content and Description Below

Vocabulary: angular acceleration, fulcrum, lever, moment of inertia, Newton’s second law, torque, weight Prior Knowledge Question (Do this BEFORE using the Gizmo.) During recess, Tom and his litt... le sister Marcie want to play on the see-saw. Tom is quite a bit heavier than Marcie. Where should they sit so the see-saw is balanced? Sketch their positions on the image below. Explain your reasoning As long as you set both of them an equal distance from the fulcrum. _______________________________ Gizmo Warm-up The Torque and Moment of Inertia Gizmo™ shows a seesaw, which is a type of lever. The see-saw can hold up to eight objects. To begin, check that the Number of objects is 2. Check that the mass of object A is 1.0 kg and the mass of object B is 2.0 kg. The two objects are equidistant from the triangular fulcrum that supports the lever. 1. Click Release. What happens? B weighs down the seesaw 2. Click Reset. Without changing the masses, experiment with different positions of objects A and B by dragging them around. Can you create a scenario in which object A goes down and object B goes up? _______ Explain: _When b is closer to the end__ 3. Can you create a scenario in which object A perfectly balances object B? When both are create an equilibriu [Show More]
